The females egg laying duties usually start in mid to late January with hatching beginning about 35 days later and then Fledging in June. After fledging they will remain Juveniles for about 2 years before becoming adult eagles and will not have fully matured feathers till about 5 years after fledging.
This eagle camera has pan and zoom functionality which gives you an excellent view of the nest. In 2012 Hurricane Sandy’s 90mph winds destroyed the upper half of the nest tree and the nest itself. Once the Eagles returned thankfully they found a new nest tree and decided to build a new nest about 100ft away from the old one in a Sycamore tree.

Blizzy flew in around 1:00 pm. He found an old tough scrap of something and spent almost 15 minutes trying to eat it. Then he swallowed the last part of it whole.
He continued to stay at the nest waiting for food
The parent flew in with a stick
waiting some more
At 3:34, the parent came back with some type of food, can’t see what it is, but was feeding Blizzy. Blizzy had a good meal.
At 8:26, a parent flew in with another stick and placed it.
Blizzy flew in 10 seconds later, but he saw that there was no food in the nest. Glad that he had a meal earlier in the afternoon.
Saw the parents twice today. First, early this morning a parent brought nest grasses. Blizzy flew in right afterwards and was disappointed that there was no food. Don’t know why they are bringing in nest grasses and sticks already. I would think that they would start this activity in the late summer/early fall since egg laying isn’t even until January.
Patiently waiting for a food delivery
Parent stopped by in the early evening. Didn’t bring anything at all. Blizzy flew in and was squeeing and grabbed the parent’s foot.
Blizzy squeeing. The parent left one minute later. I wonder if the parents are trying to break Blizzy of the habit now of eating at the nest so that Blizzy will go off on his own. Don’t think we’ll be seeing Blizzy much longer with no food deliveries at the nest.
Blizzy spent some time on the nest this afternoon, didnt see the parents or food
Didn’t see the parents or any food deliveries. Blizzy stopped by in the afternoon and picked on a small dried up nestover. Hope he finds the parents and learns how to 🐟
In the evening, Blizzy watches the parent fly by. That parent calls for the other parent. Then Blizzy sees the other parent fly by (higher up out of cam view in the same direction). Blizzy is squeeing and squeeing on the branch. Seems like he doesn’t like to be alone.
When the parent flew off after feeding Blizzy the squirrel in the afternoon, Blizzy let out a big squee.
Seemed like he wanted the parent to stay.
nice fly off pic, Blizzy could have followed
If I remember correctly, Blizzy did fly off in the direction that the parent went shortly afterward.
Blizzy is eating lunch 122pm, can’t see what. Dad is perched in a heraldic position. Rain stopped
It was a squirrel. Can’t get this any clearer. Cam is not zooming in.
I could see it’s little feet and the fur on the tail was stripped off except at the very end of it (circled in photo), probably by the parent.
Blizzy ate the head, but then he didn’t know what to do. He stopped eating and squeed for the parent to come down. The parent came and started to de-fur the squirrel. Blizzy watched as the parent de-furred the squirrel. Then the parent fed Blizzy the squirrel. I guess Blizzy has not had much experience with mammals as the parents have been bringing so much fish and eel. It’s good for him to know how to eat it.
At 10:38 a parent brought in an eel and started feeding Blizzy the eel. Four minutes later, the other parent arrived with a fish. Blizzy claimed the fish and started to eat it. Then the parent went over to the partial fish that was laying in the nest from the earlier feeding and started feeding that fish to Blizzy, who was taking bites from his own fish plus pieces of fish from the parent. Then at 12:20, the parent brought another fish. Blizzy didn’t show up until 1:56, and Blizzy ate from that fish too.
LOL, 🐖 little piggy, surprised he could fly after all that food. I just love M&D.
😂 They’re doing a wonderful job. The rain has stopped and we have some clear days coming up, so fish should be easier to see in the river. Hope they can get in some fishing practice with him.
